Danish Audiophile Loudspeaker Industries (DALI) announces SONIK, a next-generation loudspeaker series designed to redefine performance, design and accessibility for music and home cinema fans.
Representing the most significant evolution of DALI’s category-defining approach since the release of the award-winning OBERON series in 2018, SONIK once again allows DALI to deliver high-performance loudspeakers for all music and movie fans. Just as OBERON reset expectations and became a global market leader in its class, SONIK now carries forward this legacy that has been in place for almost a decade…
“DALI makes loudspeakers for everyone, from KUPID to KORE and everything in-between, covering hi-fi, home cinema, wireless speakers and headphones. Our sound and design principles have always been most visible to music fans at the price point that SONIK hits and we believe the range sets a new benchmark in performance for the price. We’re excited to launch SONIK worldwide and look forward to attracting even more DALI fans in 2026” says Krestian Pedersen, DALI Head of Product Management.

THE SONIK EVOLUTION
DALI SONIK enters the market as the company’s most comprehensive and forward-thinking lineup to date. With seven models covering every use case (from compact stereo to full-scale home cinema) SONIK addresses two key audiences: the seasoned audiophile and the design-driven newcomer entering the world of high-fidelity sound.
The series fits seamlessly into DALI’s product line-up and is uniquely engineered to deliver class-leading performance through innovations derived from the flagship DALI KORE, EPIKORE and EPICON ranges. These enhancements include improved transducer design, advanced magnet technologies and refined cabinet engineering, all distilled into a range that remains inviting, accessible, and easy to integrate into any home.
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES
SONIK delivers a significant leap in detail, dynamics and musicality at the price point.
This is driven through key, proprietary technologies, including:
● Ultra-light 29 mm Soft Dome Tweeter – engineered for low loss, wide dispersion, and a remarkably coherent upper midrange, supported by a newly developed aluminium faceplate for enhanced bandwidth and performance.
● DALI Hybrid Tweeter System (SONIK 7 and SONIK 9) – A fusion of a 29 mm dome tweeter with a 17 × 45 mm planar magnetostatic tweeter, combining dynamic precision with extended high-frequency finesse. This hybrid array delivers extraordinary dispersion and high-frequency detail.
● Low-Loss Bass & Midrange Drivers – Available in 5¼-inch and 7-inch variants, featuring DALI’s Clarity Cone™ membrane structure crafted from paper and wood fibre. This combination ensures effortless dynamics and natural midrange reproduction while minimising coloration.
● SMC™ Essential Magnet System – This patented architecture technology, originating from the EPICON series, drastically reduces third-order harmonic distortion through a hybrid iron/SMC pole-piece design. Its efficiency and low-loss characteristics give SONIK a level of refinement typically found only in loudspeakers at much higher price levels.
● Dual Flare Bass Reflex Ports – The Dual Flare bass ports are optimised for timing, low turbulence and clean low-frequency extension. The ON-WALL and CINEMA models feature specialised on-wall and front-firing reflex port configurations for placement-friendly performance.
These technologies come together to deliver DALI’s signature qualities: clarity, holographic imaging, low loss and wide dispersion, ensuring SONIK’s sound remains open, dynamic and emotionally compelling at any listening level.

A MODERN DESIGN LANGUAGE
SONIK is crafted with a design philosophy that is unmistakably DALI: clean, modern and premium without excess. Each model features:
● Custom-designed magnetic grilles
● Sleek aluminium tweeter faceplates
● New in-house-developed terminals offering robust and flexible connectivity
● Updated logo badges and baffles inspired by DALI’s flagship EPIKORE design language
● Aluminium spike outriggers (on floorstanding models) providing exceptional stability and aesthetic presence
The cabinets employ CNC-machined MDF, rigid internal bracing, high-grade vinyl finishes, and separate chambers for bass drivers, resulting in reduced resonance and improved timing accuracy.
SONIK is available in four premium finishes: Black Ash, Walnut, Natural Oak and White.

SONIK 3 – compact with a fuller, richer output suited for stands or shelves.

SONIK 7 – powerful and refined for medium to large rooms.
SONIK 9 – the flagship, employing a hybrid tweeter and three 7-inch drivers for breathtaking scale.
